Overview

About 1 The Berries

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 The Berries is a one-bedroom property in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9NL). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 499 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the 8th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (62 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 38.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£370/sq ft) was about 23.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 The Berries is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9NL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 The Berries. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 The Berries was lodged in June 2011 at band D and expired in June 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 The Berries. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9NL, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 The Berries is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
